> it seems to be the perfect solution/replacement for C/C++

Many languages tried for 50 years to replace C without success.

While Rust brings many improvements for low-level development on classical architecture, simplifying hard problems (especially memory safety), there is still a HUGE number of platforms (embedded ones mainly?) where C and even Assembly are still relevant.

Believing that any language will burry C/C++ is ignoring what C/C++ are.
